BMW Z4 Lease Questions

Comments

You're welcome sweetthunder. The dealer is marking up your vehicle's acquisition fee by $200. BMW FS' base fee is only $725. Having said that is the acquisition fee is included in what I believed was a selling price of $1,000 over invoice, it puts your car's actual price much closer to invoice so overall this is a very good deal.

Hi ahydrie. BMW actually increased its cash incentive on the 2012 Z4 to $2,500 this month. Not to shabby.

BMW FS' May buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Z4 sDrive 28i with 15,000 miles per year are .00190 and 63%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.

Hi sweetthunder and carman. I know it's June already, and you got this deal in March.

CarMan, could sweetthunder's deal be even better, provided this month's incentives, etc?

And sweetthunder, I'm looking at exactly the same car, a fully-loaded 2.8 in white with red leather. So far, the inventory for this is looking slim, but I was hoping you'd be willing to share your deal numbers, as it seems to be a great price and lease arrangement.

Thank you in advance. Happy to return the favor with mine, for the use of other Z4 enthusiasts and potential shoppers.

Hi delfer. While the cash incentive on the 2012 Z4 is $1,500 higher in June than it was back in March, its residual values are 2% lower as well. This will offset much of the difference. All things considered, this car's current lease program is slightly better than the March program was.

Got the most honest deal from Henry Suh @ New Century BMW in Alhambra.I would've gotten it otherwise from a previous guy I worked with in Pacific BMW Greg Poland, but his dealership couldn't get my exact car.

The MSRP is $60695. Total cap cost under the assumption below of the absolute minimum due at signing is $61591.01 including all sales taxes and fees. There are no additional lease costs other than the Acquisition fee of $925. The residual value for 36 months at 10K miles/year is 66%, which is incredibly high, and the money factor is .00245.

Hey delfer. The car that you leased probably has a spread of just under $5,000 between its MSRP and dealer invoice price. Plus in June there was a $2,500 cash incentive on it. That gave you a little under $7,500 to work with. The $7,200 discount that you were given on this car looks very attractive to me. It's pretty darn close to invoice minus incentives. The bank fe wasn't marked up either. If the dealer used BMW FS' buy rate lease money factor of .00190 to calculate your payment then I'd say that this is an excellent deal.

Hi lilmsy. What is this car's selling price, pre-fees? That is an important number to know because it will show us how much of a dealer discount you are being given.

Even without this number, there's some aspects of this deal that I do not like. The dealer is marking up both this car's acquisition fee ($725 base) and money factor (.00190 buy rate) in an effort to add additional back-end profit to your deal. If I was in the market for a Z4, I personally would insist that the dealer did not mark up either of these items.

Ahhh, wait I see that you were given a $3,800 discount on the car. Is the dealer subtracting the $2,500 cash incentive that BMW is providing on it from that or does it already include it? If not then you definitely can do better than that.

I'd be happy to goirish2012. BMW Financial Services' November buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Z4 sDrive 28i with 15,000 miles per year are .00125 and 60% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.

BMW is providing a $1,500 holiday credit on leases of this car through the end of the year.

I'm in contact with a CA dealer (Pacific BMW in Glendale) on a 2013 Z4 28i lease. He's saying that in order to do the lease offer advertised on BMWUSA.com, it requires a cap reduction and can't be baked into the monthly payments. Is this correct? I've never encountered a situation on an advertised lease where the advertised cap reduction couldn't be rolled into the payments in order to reduce the drive-off

Hi MG. BMW Financial Services' December buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 30-month lease of a 2013 Z4 28i with 10,000 miles per year are .00125 and 66% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.

The residual value for a lease with 10,000 miles per year is 1% higher.

Hey Car man. I am looking for a 2013 sdrive 28i roadster for a 36 month lease with Tech package features (Blue tooth, nav, voice control also parking assistance) in LA. Can you tell me about what kind of payments (down/monthly) I should expect if leasing in month of May? Do you expect any Memorial day discounts for lease?

Hi culverguy. BMW's current lease program is only scheduled to run through April 30th. We won't know what the May program will be like until it is officially announced on 5/1. I can work up a payment for you using the April program if you provide me with this car's MSRP and dealer invoice price for now if you want.
